These deductions will increase proportionately. Such work must be presented with the proper formatting, quotation and reference procedures and bibliography.
Students will also write 3 Practical Assignments, PRs, in class, based on a short text or extract from a set text. These PRs will be programmed in advance.

1. In the WAs, students must present work appropriately formatted, with correct quotation and reference, and a properly presented Bibliography. A Style Sheet document will be provided on Moodle stipulating the correct forms these elements must take. Failure to comply with these stipulations will result in a WA not being evaluated.

2. Basic language errors are to be avoided at all times in students' writing. The categories of what are considered Basic Language Errors are set out in a document on Moodle. In a WA, if a student makes three or more errors from these categories, marks will be deducted, 1 point for every three basic errors. For work written in class, the PRs, marks will not be deducted for language errors. However, in both in the WAs and PRs students must provide correction and appropriate linguistic explanations for all their errors in each piece of work. These must be submitted to the teacher within a week after the work has been returned. If a student is not in class to collect their work, it is their responsibility to collect their work from the teacher's office, during office hours or by agreement. If the language errors are not corrected by the student, to corrected to a level which implies the student still does not understand the error that has been made, by the end of the teaching period, then the piece of work, WA or PR, will NOT be evaluated.

3. Any instance of plagiarism, copying a text or ANY PART OF A TEXT from another source without proper reference or citation, so that effectively the work of another person is presented as the student's own, will result in the piece of work in which the instance occurs being evaluated as a '0'. This will lead to failure of the Continuous Assessment component of the course.

4. Students must submit ALL the WAs and PRs and do the two Tests in order to be eligible for a mark in the Continuous Assessment (CA) system of the course. If a student does not submit any WA or PR or misses any test, even if their overall CA score calculated with the missing mark(s) is above a 5, they will not be pass the Continuous Assessment part of the course.

5. A student must score a minimum of 30% of the pass mark for EACH element in the CA, in each one of the 4 WAs, the 3 PRs and the 2 Tests, to be able pass the course on the basis of the Continuous Assessment.

6. Unless, the teacher enters into a specific agreement with the class, or group, to the contrary, any work to be submitted must be uploaded to the appropriate place on Moodle before the deadlines, as stipulated in the Pla de Treball. If a student has difficulty in submitting work through Moodle, and they choose to send it via an email to the teacher or submit it through the consergeria, it is their responsibility to make sure that the piece of work is evaluated and returned to them at the same time equivalent work is returned to their classmates. Where Moodle is the channel for submission, the teacher will not accept responsibility for any work that is not submitted through Moodle, and is under no obligation to evaluate it, unless the teachers expressly agrees to accept the student's work, in writing.

7. Segona Convocatòria Exam contents. There will be 20-25 questions of the sort used in the two theory tests, Multiple choice questions, True or False, and Short answers of a word or two, or a short paragraph. The questions will be based on the powerpoints used in the theory part of the course, although some examples will come from the course text book, Ways of Reading. This should take about 30-40 minutes to complete.

Then there will be a poem to analyse, in which your answer should explain both the form of the poem (rhyme, rhythm, stanza shape) and its contents, and how these two elements interract to create the 'meanings' of the poem. There will then be essays questions on the narrative text, the drama text, and the film text, similar to the ones you were asked in the Practicals and in the WAs.
